Leap forward with Intermediate ArcGIS Pro in Seattle, April 23-25

Have you taken the leap with ArcGIS Pro? Register today for the inaugural offering of our new Intermediate ArcGIS Pro class in Seattle on April 23-25.

One of the things that makes ArcGIS so useful is the tremendous amount of data available to map and analyze. In this new intermediate level class on the use of ArcGIS Pro, Esri’s next generation GIS software, you will learn to find, connect to, create, manage, and analyze that data. You will learn to search government sites for available GIS data, import non-GIS data formats, and connect your maps to non-spatial spreadsheets, database tables, and other file formats. For example, linking parcels to scanned documents like deeds, and attaching photographs to road hazard locations. You will also learn to create, maintain, and manipulate your organization’s internal data to keep the data relevant, up-to-date, and useful. Finally, this class will also teach you how to present your GIS data by focusing on map labeling techniques and layout skills.

AudienceThose who are comfortable with the basics of ArcGIS Pro, Esri’s next-generation GIS software, and want to learn more about how to find, connect to, create, maintain, and display GIS data. Experienced GIS users who want to make the switch from ArcMap to ArcGIS Pro should check out ArcGIS Pro Quick-Start for the GIS Professional instead of this class.
